Ep 49: Big Bucks and Small Guns – with Brody and Dioni Amuchastegui

In this episode, Brody sits down via telephone with Dioni Amuchastegui, an emerging legend of the West. Dioni is an incredibly dedicated mule deer hunter with the trophy room to prove it. Brody got to pick his brain on tactics, weapons, and the current state of various mule deer populations and habitats. Follow along with Dioni on Instagram @wild_idaho.

Dioni also created the Guardian Chest Plate, a universal holster-carrying system for binocular harnesses that you will be seeing more and more of in the near future. Check that out on his company’s Instagram page @deadfall_design.
